Manchester United is on the hunt for new defensive reinforcements after Everton refused to lower their asking price for Jarrad Branthwaite. United has set its sights on Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt, Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guehi, and Lille teenager Leny Yoro as potential alternatives.
Branthwaite had a standout season at Everton, earning multiple awards and making his England debut. Despite interest from other clubs and uncertainty around Everton’s ownership situation, the Toffees remain firm on their valuation of Branthwaite at around £70m. This has prompted United to explore other options in central defense.
De Ligt, Guehi, and Yoro are all being considered by United as potential replacements for Branthwaite. However, competition for these players is expected to be fierce, with Liverpool, PSG, and Real Madrid also interested in Yoro. Bayern Munich’s willingness to sell De Ligt has caught the attention of top clubs, including United.
Erik ten Hag, United’s manager, has a personal connection with De Ligt from their time together at Ajax, where he made De Ligt captain at a young age. This could play a role in bringing De Ligt to Old Trafford as United continues its pursuit of defensive reinforcements during the transfer window. Fans and rivals alike will be closely watching the situation unfold as the transfer window progresses.
